I know you've made this mistake - today we were going over letters and I made the mistake I've made many times before...Yes, P, good, and what comes next. Now the answer I always expect is Q...but my female Frank said, "actually poop comes next". She got me!

OK, when I go to babble and vote for you, it never changes the number of votes...I'm trying to help you out!Also, which ones are your google adds. I'm tired of reading about acne, and if you aren't getting paid I'm not going to click on them anymore.Can't wait to hear about school!

My 6 year old started 1st grade this week and she is already complaining and wants to go back to her Kindergarten teacher. 1st grade has no naps, snacks or a teacher that lets her sit on her lap when she is sad. Oh the horror of growing up =)

A married couple in their 60's are visited by a fairy who grants them both a wish. "I want to travel round the world with my darling husband" says wife, two tickets for a luxury cruise magically appear in her hand. Husband says:"Sorry but my wish is to have a wife 30 years younger than me." Fairy waves wand and the husband becomes 92 ... Moral of story - men who are ungrateful should remember fairies are female!!!

Hmm, what type of Vodka do you like? I have both Grey Goose and Belvedere. I don't have any of those fancy flavored kinds though!

On a more serious note, the iPad2 would be awesome to win because it would allow me to increase my productivity at work and at home. My wife and daughter would also love it...especially the games! Thank you for the opportunity :)

I voted. Again.I've been a subscriber since your triple digit days :)I'd walk your dog but it would be a loooong walkI make you laugh. Don't I?I think you've made a quick quarter of cent from my Google Ad clicks today :)

Okay so I downloaded the Time to Call app on my daughter's iPhone because I have a droid. Although she was mad at first, she now is glad because she was able to call a great friend of hers who lives in England (met on vacation 7 years ago) thanks to Vonage's generous freebie call. :-)

I am following your blog now as well and looking forward to it. I noticed there are a lot of teachers here! Just goes to show they aren't paying us teachers enough if we have to go hunting the internet to find iPad contests.

And I just clicked on Proactiv Canada, eh. Actually, my daughters did try this (not the Canada version - the US version) and was successful for a while. Then it came back. Wonder if Canada has a different formula.

Checked out ANOTHER acne treatment (what are you trying to tell us???), but this was the US version of Proactiv. Tried it. My kids like Murad. I don't. It's expensive. Luckily, my older daughter got in on a study so is getting it free. Yay Me!!

Next, I learned that the secret to smoothing out wrinkles is a rare melon that lies in a remote region in the south of France. Scientists cultivated this melon that contains a powerful super-antioxidant called superoxide dismutase. Well, all my problems are solved now!!! I shall take a little trip to France to get me some superoxide dismutase (as soon as I get that raise).

Sheer Cover was next because the natural hair care products wouldn't load for me (dang it! I missed out on an entry!). I'm considering making them feel good by submitting a 'before' picture of me and an 'after' picture of my 15 year old daughter. Stroke their ego a bit.

Can't download the app - as I nothing to download it to! lol BUT I DID go to the Vontage's site!

Voted at Babble (check)

Didn't walk the dog, but did feed the cat (and changed the water!)

And clicked on the Proactive ad - wonder if it would help DS#1's acne? hmm may actually try that one out!

And why am I posting so late on your comments section: because I'm doing laundry for my own "Bitchy" but we call him Monkey A. Popped down to announce that he has no clean pants for school tomorrow - um, it's Monday! I washed everything delivered to me this weekend...(sigh)

I Absolut(ly) need to win this iPad2. I have tried the app & think it is cool. I will be using it more so order more duty free of the above when family from overseas arrive. If I happen to win from here I will be sending it to you! I kid you not lol.

I tried out the time to call app. I am so excited!! I travel to africa and haven't been able to keep in touch with family because the cost for international phone calls is riciculous. This will be such a blessing being able to keep in touch with my loved ones while traveling now!!!

Make you laugh....okay. Several years ago I went on a trip with a youth soccer team. One of our players was held up by the Swedish Customs because there was something wrong with her passport visa. As we were discussing what we were going to do, one of the group leaders very excitedly said "It's fine, I'll fix it. She then dug in her purse and very excitedly said I have a visa (credit card) she can use mine!!!" Talk about a blond moment! wldflowur13(at)yahoo(dot)com

I heard this one on facebook the other day"When I was young I didn't like going to weddings. My grandmother would tell me, "You're next" However, she stopped doing that after I started saying the same thing to her at funerals."

I'm in!! Hannah told me about the contest - I didn't even know you were on twitter! She was following you, but I wasn't! All fixed now!!

I'm glad to be able to follow along with you! I was worried that once Tori graduated high school and you weren't hanging around at all those State field hockey games I'd never get to talk to you again - turns out I was wrong!

Subcribed, voted and clicked on the adds! I follow you on twitter too! Wish I had found your blog when you started it-I'm a teacher and can relate to so mant of your stories, esp. going through having to take stuff down because of your job, etc. Enter me for the ipad please! JDAngelo82@gmail.com.

You will be able to tell I follow via gfc, right? As /\Heather/\. If that isn't what you mean, I also subscribe to your rss feed via google reader. THAT is something you can't verify, though. So, maybe that's what you mean. Look at all those sentences!heatherpooh (hotmail)

Geeeeeeez, some people really are kissing up to you. Not me, I'm not going to do that, I just want to mention that I will always have your back. Remember the spam bot comments in the middle of the night? I was there, right along with you laughing my butt off.

If I haven't made you laugh so far,my kindergarten teachers were nuns,vicious mean peanut butter & jellypushing, nap pushing fat belliednuns. That could make you need a shot of Vodka. Didn't care much forthe kids either.

Entry 1:- I have downloaded & tried Vonage Time To Call on my iPhone 3GS via App Store.After installing the App , i found that Vonage is providing some very cool/cheap International calling rates. :)

I liked the fact that Vonage is providing free 15 minutes/1 international call free of cost upon installing the Time To call app.I also really like the cheaper International call rates which Vonage is providing us for those who can't afford a costly International call otherwise.

I just got a call from the Red Cross asking me if I wanted to donate some of my old clothes to the starving people throughout the world. I told them to get lost. Anyone who fits into my clothes isn't starving.

In his HS German class, my daughter's boyfriend Brendan was learning about Beethoven. The teacher said something about Beethoven having to wear hearing aids. Brendan asked if Beethoven had to wear the hearing AIDS because he had unprotected EAR SEX!!!!!

Are you kiddin' me? An ipad - well I haven't learned yet how to program the new DVD player after my old one quit FOUR MONTHS AGO. By the time I learn ipad-ese; it will be lonngggggg outdated. Tech savvy I'm not!!!

Don't forget to tip the waitress. I really DO live on tips....

Our New DonorsChoose request....who doesn't love a kitchen??

About Me

I am a teacher, a writer, and the mother of three children. I've decided I'll never give up. No matter how many battles I lose; no matter how many tears I shed; no matter how many martinis I have to drink, I will continue to fight the good fight! I love to laugh, believe that every day is a new day, and thank God each morning that I am still here.
